Victoria and David Beckham have donated twenty boxes of their clothes to the British Red Cross.

The former Spice Girl turned fashion designer and her husband have raided their wardrobes to raise money for victims of Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines two weeks ago.

Beckham fans and fashionistas alike turned out en masse to snap up the prized designer garments from the Kensington and Chelsea Red Cross shop, which included pieces by Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, a stockpile of Victoria's size 4 Jimmy Choos and a collection of David's signature baseball caps.

Speaking about the causeVictoria said: "Typhoon Haiyan has devastated the Philippines, killing thousands and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. The British Red Cross is now carrying out an enormous humanitarian relief project to help all those people in desperate need."

"David and I are supporting the Red Cross Shop Drop for the Philippines campaign and we urge everyone in Britain to do the same," she added.

After spending the weekend sorting through her vast wardrobe, Victoria posted photos of her haul on her Twitter page, urging members of the public to follow her example. 'Proud to support @BritishRedCross #ShopDrop Donating clothes for #Haiyan survivors,' she tweeted.

A Red Cross source said: 'We asked if they would like to help us raise money for the Typhoon Haiyan survivors and they jumped at the chance."

While the collection is largely from the post-Spice Girl phase of Victoria's career, with items from as little as £25, fans of the former pop star can stake a claim for their own piece of brand Beckham.
